Hi Everyone,
This lovely couple that I would like to highlight will be getting married October 10th at Faith Chapel on Jekyll Island, Ga (Yes I travel— destination weddings too!) Speaking of Travel after the ceremony the reception will be held in Brunswick, Ga. They sure are troopers! Not only do they have all of that wedding day running, but for their engagement session they came from Georgia and met me at Big Talbot Island (State Park) to spend an hour shooting in the hot, hot, hot sun! Don’t worry though we got some beautiful shots. Introducing BRIAN AND BECKY — Soon to be MR. and MRS. Massey!
Brian and Becky
We started at the overlook. If you have never been to Big Talbot Island it is definitely worth the drive. They call it the “boneyard” because of all of the fallen trees that have become bleached by the sun after so many years. From there we walked down the beach stopping at a few of these tree to create a few fun shots.

Taking a break
Finally we made our way down the beach, stopping at a patch of Sea Oats. Once we were finished there we walked back to our vehicles changed shirts for a quick (and less sweaty) finish to our shoot, then hauled boogity to the nearest gas station for Icee’s. It was overall a very enjoyable shoot and I can’t wait to shoot the wedding! 
Thanks again Brian and Becky- See you very soon!

Hello Again,
This is to share a story about Cierra and Devron. Now Cierra and I have had some previous shoots together including a family shoot, but I havent had the chance to meet Devron before working with him. According to the couple both were very excited to get their first set of couple shots together and really wanted to get collages made (like I have done for Cierra’s Family shoot).
We met at Jax Landing early in the morning to get a few shots- nothing really formal. The couple wanted shots as a couple and some individual as well.
Cierra was interested in collages again— which I happily made for her during her family shoot before. I had a lot of fun creating a nice urban collage highlighting some of Jacksonville’s scenery at the Landing.
It was nice meeting Devron and hearing that he had never taken couple pictures before. That made creating their collages even more exciting, and hearing that they loved them even more rewarding.
I love having happy clients, and most definitely welcome you back as a repeat client as well! Cierra has had a family shoot and couple shoot with me now— we will be planning another shoot probably within the next few months.

Thanks again Cierra and Devron! I hope to work with you again very soon
All the best,
Vanessa

Hello Again,
I just realized how long its been since my last post- Sorry about that. Have no Fear though Today will most likely bring 3 new posts, as I havent been hiding under a rock . First and formost I want to extend my gratitude to the Morris Family who shot with me the end of last month.
Aimee- Mom, contacted me. She was impressed enough with my pricing compared to local competitors to go ahead and book. They are from Indiana and were visiting St. Augustine as a family Vacay. Aimee brought along her Husband Randy, 3 wonderful children Carson, Camryn, and Corbin, and Grandma and Grandpa (Aimee’s Parents) Gary and Faith.
Morris Family
We met down at Vilano Beach (Still my most favorite location). Everyone was so full of life and there was never a dull moment!
Storms are coming
We started with group shots, then some individuals, finally we went over to the beach and finished up. Everyone was full of laughs and the kids were so relaxed and full of spunk! We caught everyone with a smile. To view more of this shoot visit www.pictage.com/694925
Thank you again Aimee and your wonderful family for letting me experiance a little bit of your vacation
All the best,
Vanessa
